    Continuing the "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN" conversation from the last thread:

    I admit that I'd get a kick out of the reaction people would have when they found out I hadn't seen any of the Godfather or Rocky movies.

    Then I went ahead and saw the Godfather movies. And about 1.5 Rocky movies.

    My gf still has her "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN" intact: Star Wars. She claims she will go to her grave having never seen anything Star Wars related.

    I actually never realized how often I used to quote those movies until we started dating and I would get hit with "I don't know that reference" every so often.

    I watched enough cartoons and SNL growing up that I basically had the entirety of The Godfather spoiled for me by the time I watched it.

    One thing popular culture had not told me about the Godfather 3: Incest. As like a major driver of the plot. And not just the incest, but the fact that everyone in the movie except Michael Corleone is cool about it. Also everyone treats him like he's crazy for being like "Hey maybe don't fuck your cousin."

    I was just like, "Seriously, we as a culture just let this one go? We just decided to not talk about this?"

    My "I HAVEN'T SEEN" list is vast enough that I just default it to "I haven't seen movie" until I occasionally switch it up with "Oh, wait, I did catch that one."

    I mean, all I know about The Godfather part 3 is that it's "the bad one"

    I have a 'to watch' list of about 2,500 films, but I don't think I have very many embarrassing blind spots. Most of the people I talk to about movies assume I've seen what they have.

    Well, what one of them looked like. They tend to vary a lot depending on the layout of the building. The one pictured there has been demolished for years.

    I dunno. Even in the part of the country where we get incest jokes lobbed our way constantly it's pretty darn taboo.

    I know this is shocking, but different cultures have different standards for who constitutes "too close to family to fuck." The US has stricter social taboos towards cousins marrying than most other countries do. Specifically in the case of Godfather 3, the Italians care less than the Americans, and Michael caring tells us something about his own cultural identity.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    First cousin relationships are legal in most places and also most studies show that potential birth defects from such pairings are very low

    It's a cultural taboo not really rooted in anything other than "ick"

    well it's a real psychological thing that you're way less likely to develop any sexual attraction to people you grow up in close proximity with, and for a lot of Americans, their cousins are almost as close as siblings

    it wouldn't at all surprise me to find out that's got something to do with it

    Cannot wait for the answer to this question

    i have seen clips of ralph bashki stuff, but never a full non- cool world movie. i probably couldn't, tbh.

    heavy metal's fantasy segment barely has anything more than boobie girls in strategically ill-fitting armor and maybe a lizard man? plus that segment is short.

    conan is the most fantasy i can handle, and I'm mostly just there for the blood orgy. it really stretches the limits, though.

    and only the first one.

    never seen the sequels.

    Yeah. I think my feelings on Bakshi are exactly my feelings on R Crumb for comics.
